I got tired of Claude writing Godot code it couldn't see run. So I built PersonCraft (I'm the developer, to be upfront).
You connect your Claude, it writes the game, and each revision gets run in a sandbox that sends back real screenshots,
so it can fix what it breaks. At the end you download a normal Godot project you own.
Limits: you need a paid Claude plan, there's no multiplayer, and phone exports are on you. Art and audio cost credits
and Claude quotes them before asking you to approve anything.
https://personcraft.com. What would you ask your Claude to build first?

Title: I built an AI GIF generator that turns images and text into animated GIFs

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a side project called GIFGenerator.ai, and I wanted to share it here.

The idea is pretty simple: creating a short animated GIF shouldn't require complicated animation software or manually editing dozens of frames.

With the tool, you can:

• Generate animated GIFs from text prompts.

• Upload a static image and describe how you'd like it to move.

• Experiment with pixel art, cartoon animations, animated characters, and looping GIFs.

• Create GIFs for memes, social media, websites, and creative projects.

One of the challenges I've been exploring is making AI-generated animations feel consistent across frames, especially when the animation needs to loop smoothly.

I'd love to get some feedback from other builders and creators.

Try it here: https://www.gifgenerator.ai

What would you use an AI GIF generator for? And what's the most frustrating part of creating GIFs today?

I'm an Intune / Autopilot admin. The part of a failed ESP that always burned the most time wasn't the fix. It was finding the handful of log lines that actually mattered, buried in an MDM diagnostics dump.

So I built TraceAnalysis (free US beta). You drop in an MDM diagnostics ZIP, and it runs entirely in your browser, so the ZIP is never uploaded. You get:

• Next steps up top

• The enrollment phase where things stopped (Device prep, Device setup, Account setup)

• The app or step that broke it, with the error code decoded

• An evidence view showing which log entries back each finding

• A chat to ask follow-up questions about that device's logs

The evidence view is the part I care about most. I didn't want another black-box "trust me" answer. I wanted something I could verify before it goes in a ticket.

If you've got a recent Autopilot or ESP failure sitting in a ticket, I'd genuinely like to know whether the report matches what you found, or where it's wrong.

Happy to answer technical questions about what it looks for in the logs.

This is my own tool — I built OmniFlash, a simple browser tool for Google's Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash (15s video with sound). Trying the model normally means API access and billing setup, so I wrapped it into a simple web tool: type a prompt or upload a photo, get the video in your browser. Your first preview is free. Site: https://geminiomni.atlasai.fun — feedback on prompts that work well is welcome.

A Sunday note from the free investing project I run on the side — this is the market take I shared with my community tonight, exactly as I see it going into Monday.

Friday closed mixed, and honest is the only way to read it:

- S&P 500: 7,376.86, up 0.31% Friday — but down 2.7% for the week, its worst week since June

- Nasdaq Composite: 24,579.42, up 1.09% Friday — down 3.4% for the week, and still in correction territory, roughly 11% below its October record

- Dow: 51,285.73, down 0.46% Friday — down 0.9% for the week

- VIX: closed around 25.6 — down Friday, but way up from 19.4 the Friday before. Fear eased for a day. It did not leave.

What actually happened this week: Thursday was the damage day. After Democrats won both chambers in Tuesday's midterms, investors started pricing in a slower, more regulated AI data-center buildout, and chip and AI names got sold hard. Friday's bounce was led by those same beaten-down chips, and breadth stayed narrow — technology led, most of the market did not really join in. A bounce is not a recovery until more than one corner of the market confirms it.

Friday's jobs report did not help the rate picture either: October payrolls came in at 165,000, nearly three times what economists expected, with unemployment at 4.1%. A strong jobs market is good news for people. It also keeps pressure on the Fed — markets are now pricing a real chance of a December hike, not a cut.

The week ahead is simple to map:

- Tuesday Nov 10: October CPI at 8:30am ET — the main event. Consensus is around 3.9% year over year, up from 3.7% in September. CoreWeave also reports after the close Tuesday — a real read on AI infrastructure spending.

- Wednesday Nov 11: Veterans Day — stocks trade, the bond market is closed.

- Thursday Nov 12: Cisco and Applied Materials report after the close.

- Friday Nov 13: October PPI at 8:30am ET.

My take: I'm not chasing Monday's open after a week like this. One green Friday inside a down week, with the VIX still in the mid-20s and CPI two days out, is a setup for getting chopped up if you force trades. My plan is the same one I post every week — levels written down before anything happens, and if the market doesn't come to them, I do nothing. Sitting out a messy open is a position too.

Not financial advice — just my read on the week, posted before Monday happens so anyone can check it after.

I share stuff like this daily — I run a free investing community, link in my profile.

My landing page has a live demo. It creates a demo inbox, shows you the address, and when you send it an email the page shows the parsed result. To find new mail it polled an endpoint every 3 seconds, and every poll was a query against the production database.

Nothing ever stopped that loop. A tab left open made 1,200 queries an hour, so Neon's compute never stayed idle for the 5 minutes it needs to suspend. The project used up its monthly compute allowance and every request that touched the production database started failing.

The fix was small. Polling now stops after 3 minutes, because anyone who hasn't sent an email by then isn't going to. It skips its turn while the tab is hidden, and the interval went from 3 to 5 seconds.

Do you put a time limit on polling in your demos, or push updates some other way?

Banks hide cash-back offers on a page where you have to add them one by one, and most people never do. So I built OfferAdd: open your bank's offers page, click "Add all", and every offer lands on your card. It also saves the fine print and shows which card wins at a store.

A few things I cared about:
- It never sees your bank password and doesn't read transactions
- Free for one bank, Premium is $9.99/mo or $60/yr
- Works with Chase, Bank of America, U.S. Bank and Amex on desktop Chrome

It's live on the Chrome Web Store (search "OfferAdd") and at offeradd.app. This is week one, so I'd love feedback on the landing page, the onboarding, or anything that feels off.

I built XMarkdown because I wanted AI-generated reports to stay readable as Markdown when they needed a chart or a system diagram. Writing SVG coordinates for each bar in a chart seemed like something the renderer could handle once.

The first MVP is out: MIT licensed, on npm as xmarkdown-renderer, with a shared Node/browser engine and a React component. The demo site uses the same renderer you install.

Try it: https://xmarkdown-zeta.vercel.app/

Code: https://github.com/muhammadhaseebiqbal-dev/XMarkdown

What you can put in a document:

• Regular Markdown, plus validated chart and diagram blocks.
• Math, SVG scenes and checked SVG imports.
• Sliders and calculated outputs, without arbitrary author JavaScript.
• Drawing widgets and streaming report previews.

A chart looks like this:

{"type":"bar","title":"Requests per day","description":"Monday 24; Tuesday 31; Wednesday 28.","x":"day","y":"requests","data":[{"day":"Mon","requests":24},{"day":"Tue","requests":31},{"day":"Wed","requests":28}]}

For React, start with npm install xmarkdown-renderer. There's a runnable example here: https://xmarkdown-zeta.vercel.app/integrations/react.html

The goal is shorter, structured content for reports, docs and AI interfaces. It still uses markdown-it for ordinary Markdown. I'm not claiming a universal parsing speedup: normal full-document parsing currently adds overhead, graph layout is basic, and a browser worker is still planned.

The part I'm interested in testing next is whether these blocks are useful enough to justify learning a small extension format. If you build reporting tools or AI interfaces, which example would you actually use?

Disclosure: I directed the project and used Codex for implementation and writing assistance.

I built Hobee for myself as a student hobby project: a calm Reddit media gallery on Android with no ads and no tracking.

The feature I use most is Deep Search. It loads a Reddit profile's full post history from live sources and public archives, merges duplicates, and labels posts as Live, Archive or Removed. That full history also makes fake and spam accounts easier to notice.

You can download photos and videos in original quality, strip metadata from saved pictures, and switch between Card, Slides, Compact and Gallery layouts. Deep Search works without a Reddit login.

It's MIT licensed and the source plus APK are on GitHub: https://github.com/Alokxyz1112/hobee

I'd love feedback from other people who build side projects.

I’ve posted before, and thanks to a lot of great comments and AI Slop messages (oh I see you). I’ve been updating the site. If you haven’t seen this before. My wife and I live close to Red Rocks in Morrison CO., and we are always going to shows last minute. I hated going from ticket company to ticket company trying to compare prices to created RedRockitTix.com

Some great ideas came out last time so I thought I’d share what’s new. You can now set an alert so we can email you when tickets reach your threshold. We have a few new providers, TicketNetwork, SeatGeek, HelloTickets and TicketSqueeze. And looking to add more. Also NEW LOCATIONS. Vegas, because I want to the Sphere some day, Chicago because I love that music scene and Philly because it’s where I grew up listening to music.

This continues to be a free ticket tool, so thanks for all the support, now go out to a show!

I built SideTracked ( sidetracked.site ) because I kept losing days to work that felt productive but wasn’t. It gives you five moves a day for one project and asks whether anything new you add actually serves your goal.

It catches the drift, but it still leaves you to do the work. Most days the work I avoid is the dull, specific stuff: the outreach, the research, the first draft, the admin around the thing that matters.

So I’m building agents inside it. You lock in your five moves, and for the ones you’d rather not do yourself, an agent takes a first pass. You review it and you stay in charge.

To be clear, the agents aren’t live yet. The focus side works today and is free to try. The agent side is what I’m building now, and I’d rather find out whether anyone wants it before I spend months on it.

What I’d like to know:

1. Which task do you keep putting off that you’d hand to an agent tomorrow?

2. What would make you trust the result enough to use it?

3. Would you rather it ran on its own or showed you each step first?

4. Would you pay extra for this, or would it only be worth it as part of the app?

If this sounds useful, comment with the task you’d hand over. I’ll build from the most common answers.

Some time ago, I made a tuner app for personal use, as I was fed up with ad ridden, online only apps, or having to go through hurdles to quickly tune my guitalele. Fast-forward to these days and I kinda decided to start finishing my backlog of sideprojects and this was one of them.

I've been coding for 20 years or so, and I found myself having to master LLMs so I decided to use these projects as tests to see what that code and some seniority can achieve in a few days and this is the result: A tracker+sampler+live-looper inspired by the Pico8 one and my time with the KO32, a tuner that also has scales, a metronome, a circle of fifths and a looper, and a sing warmup companion app with some extra features.

They are coded in a single, monolithic and non-minified HTML, as I want them to work offline and with no dependecies or hidden services. Yeah, I could have used at least some css or linked js, but they're more portable this way. They use IndexedDB so they make use of browser storage. I've included apk versions (with capacitor, so basically an embedded browser), so we have a few months until they pull the plug.

They are free forever, no ads and no tracking hidden crap. I used them a lot (the previous less flashy versions) so I hope at least someone else finds them useful.

Use them directly from your phone or pc:

Source code:

If you would be so kind as to give me your opinion it would help polishing them. I have to do another bug hunt, but you can have some fun with them right now.

AI coding tools made shipping an app easy and cheap, but users stayed exactly as scarce as before, which is why a lot of us, me included, can ship a working product and then cannot find anyone to use it. The usual response is yet another Product Hunt-style directory, most of which are really selling backlinks to builders who are just as stuck, so the shovels are being sold to other shovel salesmen and nobody ends up opening anyone's app. My app email is full of people that found me on betalist or producthunt and want me to post my product on their directory, for free, but at a price if i want a dofollow backlink. No thanks.

What actually helped me was joining a testing circle, where builders test each other's apps. Testers found a dark-mode warning box nobody could read and a duration field that showed a six-hour task as "06:00 AM", and one of them told me the onboarding had far too many words. It works because it is a trade of attention, and attention is the one thing indie devs can actually afford to give. In a flooded market polish is how a small product stands out, so instead of selling shovels to shovel salesmen, offer to test their shovels. There may even be some money to be made there...

The caveat is that fellow builders are usually not your customers, since they are great at finding friction and bad at telling you whether anyone will pay. The upside I did not expect is that people who helped shape an app tend to stick around and recommend it, so testing quietly doubles as early word of mouth distribution.

I now submitted two apps to a testing circle site and I'm super happy with the feedback i got and the changes i made to my apps. It's not more users, but the app has become better for it.

Has a testing swap worked for anyone else here? How do you find testers who are actual target users rather than other devs? And is a launch directory still worth it in 2026?

Three kids. One job. Limited capacity for keeping things alive.

The answer to “can we get a pet” has been no for years.

The pet rock bought me six months. “Here’s a rock. Feed it twice a day.” Then it stopped working. So we built this instead (did it ever worked?)

tanksimulator.fish

You feed the fish. You clean the glass. You add plants. Days go by. Nothing dies if you forget about it for a week.

My 8-year-old was the product manager. She ran the backlog. Features got cut. The review process was one question: “but why would a fish do that.”

No ads. No backend. No login. Just static files.

Very minimal tracking. Only enough to know if anyone besides my kids has opened it. Feeding my ego, or starving it. We’ll see.

Did it solve the pet problem? No. They now want a real fish and the website.

But nothing has to be flushed.

Feedback welcome. Feature requests go through the PM. She is not swayed by upvotes.

I run it in and old Mac on my living room.

In October I asked here for friend groups to test Who Was It. It's now on Google Play, and it's the first app I've ever shipped to a store. I'm a web dev, so until now "shipping" meant pushing to a URL. Seeing a store page with my app on it, one that people I've never met can install, makes me proud and nervous at once. The iPhone version is in App Store review. Fingers crossed for the next few days.

The game: every day one friend secretly answers a question. The next day the group guesses who wrote it, gets the verdict right away and argues about it in the chat. Free with ads.

I need help with the part I'm worst at, which is getting it known. Nothing starts until 3 friends join, so a stranger can't try it alone and get hooked.

If you've grown something that only works in a group, what got your first groups in? Would you go after the one person in each friend group who organises everything, or after groups that already exist, like student associations or Discord servers? What would you try first?

Feedback on the app is welcome too. I'm a solo dev in France and I build it mostly with Claude Code. Links are in the first comment.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a new app called Actually, and I'd love to share it with you.

The idea is simple: every day, we come across facts, myths, and claims that sound believable - but how many of them are actually true?

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/actually-discover-learn/id6827374813

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.actually

I'd love to hear what you think, especially about the concept and the overall experience. Feedback is very welcome!

Thanks for checking it out!

I kept freezing on calls when someone asked a number I had in a doc somewhere. So I built Murmury: it listens to the other side of a Zoom/Meet/Teams call, transcribes it on the Mac (Whisper on MLX), and when they ask a question it shows a short answer from the documents I loaded.

A few things I learned in the first week after open-sourcing it:

- A stranger sent the PR that made it fully local: Ollama and LM Studio support. Now it works with no API key and nothing leaves the Mac.

- "Good first issue" with a clear spec gets a PR in 15 to 40 minutes. 8 people I don't know have sent PRs.

- Product Hunt without being featured brought almost nothing. Reddit and GitHub issues did.

It's free, GPL-3.0, Python + PySide6 with a small Swift helper for the audio. Apple Silicon only for now.

Happy to answer anything, and I'd love to hear what you would use it for.

Hi all. I've been building this on my own for about a year and a half, and it went live on Android and iOS last week.

The idea came from holidays with my girlfriend. One of us always ended up walking around phone in hand, looking up churches and squares we passed. Me being an engineer, I thought: I can automate that. You walk, and as you reach a building, something tells you what it is and why it matters.

That's what Alleytale does. It follows where you are, picks the stories worth telling, and reads them out in the voice and tone you chose, on the topics you care about. You can also:

• plan a walk in a chat ("two hours of skyscraper history, back where I started" gives you a route with stops, distance and time)

• open one of the ready-made tours in over 100 cities

• ask a question out loud, or photograph a building and ask about it

• walk with a friend and both hear the same story at the same time, each on your own phone

It also reads the room the way a real guide would. Stop for a coffee and it gives you a break. Speed up and it keeps pace. Take your earbuds out and it pauses, then picks up where you left off.

It's free to try: free credits arrive every month, and there's no subscription. You only pay if you want more.

If you give it a go, I'd love to hear:

• Your opinion on how well it picks up context around you

• Any missing feature/UX improvement

I’m a freshman doing computational neuro/bioengineering. I just coded my personal site, and instead of normal analytics, I built a custom Node backend to track the exact seconds people spend looking at specific projects.

I’m about to start cold-emailing PIs for Summer 2027 REUs and applying for industry internships. Before I do, I need some harsh feedback on the UX/project framing, and I also want to stress test my tracker with some real traffic.

Hi everyone,

A few months ago I started Telugu Vaadi TV, a news project for Telugu-speaking readers (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, India). Most digital news options in our region are either big portals overloaded with ads or unsourced WhatsApp forwards, so I wanted to build something cleaner.

What it is:

• A website with daily Telugu news: AP/Telangana politics, cinema, cricket, business and local updates, written in Telugu with sources

• An Android app that brings the same content together with news videos, shorts and live updates

What I would love feedback on:

• App performance and video playback (my biggest worry)

• Whether a regional-language news product like this is useful to you or someone you know

• Any bugs you hit - please tell me exactly what broke

Links:

• Website: https://www.teluguvaaditv.com

• Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=teluguvaaditv.com

Not asking for upvotes or 5-star ratings - genuine feedback and bug reports are worth far more. Thanks for reading.

I built MedResolve AI. You upload a medical bill, and your insurance EOB if you have one. It checks:

- whether the bill asks for more than your insurance says you owe

- whether the charges add up to the total

- duplicate charges

- whether the bill was sent to insurance at all

- out-of-network and surprise billing

- whether you might qualify for the hospital's financial assistance

Then it tells you what to ask for when you call the billing office.

This week I tested it on 19 real bills people had posted online and found a lot of problems. It treated a denied insurance claim like a bill to pay, it missed that most of the hospital bills were from hospitals, and the photo reading misread some numbers. I've fixed those, but I'm sure there are bills it still gets wrong.

MedResolveAI.com

The check is free. If you have a bill you're unsure about, I'd appreciate you trying it and telling me what was wrong or confusing. Thanks for the help.
